Another year, another slew of food books, food memoirs, cookbooks and drink books (that’s a thing, right?) to hit the shelves. If you’re like us, you see a few too many “paleo,” “grain brain,” and “gluten-free” titles before your eyes start rolling in the back of your head, but fortunately, 2014 was a great year for people who like reading, cooking, and drinking. (And evidently for cooking “thugs” as well.)

It’s a special moment when you realize another mortal being understands you: your wants, your needs, your desires, and yes, your cravings for breakfast burritos. And we have found that in Jim Gaffigan, thanks to his delightful new book Food: A Love Story. Is this not our own love story, Jim?!
